Rhiannon Sent on 05/05/2024Incredible service
I cannot speak highly enough about Clearwell Castle as a wedding venue. The venue itself is absolutely stunning. It rained on our wedding day but the indoor space was so vast and beautiful that ourselves and our guests still had the most amazing time! Our wedding co-ordinator, Phaedra, was absolutely incredible, both before and during the wedding. She was always so professional, replied to all of my emails (there were many) and answered all queries efficiently. On the day, we genuinely could not have managed without her. The day flowed so well with her guidance and it really helped me as the Bride as I felt I didn't need to worry about anything! All the other staff at Clearwell and at the Wyndham hotel were also so wonderful! Everyone worked so hard and every member of staff was so kind to us; it just made our day incredibly special and we are so appreciative to them all. The food was great, service very quick and all the guests really enjoyed it! We had so many compliments about the staff and venue! I honestly could not recommend Clearwell castle more as a wedding venue!Clearwell Castle's reply:
Thank you Rhiannon for your very kind words that will be shared with Phaedra and the team. Wishing you every happiness and we hope to see you again soon. -

Neil C. Sent on 06/09/2024Unbelievable venue
From the moment we first visited Clearwell, we knew this was the venue for us. From the moment we started planning to the final touches on the day, all the staff were fantastic. Ann, our wedding coordinator, was a delight to work with throughout. Nothing was too much trouble and she kept us updated throughout. The day was tailored exactly to our needs and when we arrived at the venue on the day they had prepared everything perfectly.
We did the night before package which included rooms and food the evening before. We were supplied with so much food no one went hungry. The rooms in the Wyndham and the Castle are fantastically appointed.
The venue itself is gorgeous. The cellar bar downstairs adds a whole different dimension to the occasion where you can really let your hair down.
This was an absolute dream come true venue for us. We loved every single minute.Clearwell Castle's reply:
Thank you so much Neil for your lovely message that will be shared with the team here at Clearwell Castle. We are so pleased that you both had an amazing day. Do come back and see us soon! -

I could not have wished for a better experience
I cannot fault this venue at all. We initially had to change our wedding date because of lockdown and they were so supportive and empathetic.
Ann, our coordinator, is quite possibly the loveliest person on the planet. She was always happy to answer any questions and it never felt like we were being a nuisances or asking a silly question.
On the morning of the wedding she was a lovely calm presence and the whole day just ran like clockwork.
The food was out of this world with many guests saying it was the best food they’d had at a wedding and one person actually thought we’d hired a Michellin Chef!
The venue is so so beautiful with plenty of space. The downstairs cellar was a great place to party the night away, it was like an exclusive nightclub. There were lots of quieter rooms for people who wanted some peace.
The DJ was brilliant, we forgot to give a list of songs we liked but he did a great job of guessing what we liked ( he must’ve looked at our age and figured nineties dance music was our era. And he was bang on the money)
I do not have a single complaint about this venueClearwell Castle's reply:
Good afternoon Beth, hope that you are both well. Thank you so much for your kind words that will be shared with Ann and the team here at The Castle. Do come back and see us again soon! -

Victoria F. Sent on 23/12/2023Perfect Fairytale Wedding
Our wedding on 10/11/23 was just the absolute perfect day from start to finish. Our wedding planner manager, Hannah, was incredible, not just on the day but throughout the whole planning process. She ensured everything ran smoothly on the day, sparing no details ensuring everything was just perfect and to time but without being stressful. She was very accommodating with the planning meetings working around both mine and my now Husband's shift patterns.
We both stayed the night before our wedding and the night of the wedding with many of our guests travelling a distance so also staying in the Wyndham which was very convenient. Staying in Keepers cottage with the Bridesmaids the night before added to the experience with the added feature of the hot tub, the groomsmen were very jealous. The beds were very comfortable and everyone was excited to stay in a castle.
On the day of the wedding, the staff were very accommodating moving the bridal party along to the bridal suite to finish preparations earlier than originally planned. The breakfast provided was the perfect amount for a busy morning getting ready. Everything, including the gardens, were immaculately kept adding to the WOW factor of getting married in a Castle.
The canapes served and welcome drinks were well received by the guests and ourselves whilst we had photographers prior to the wedding breakfast. The food was phenomenal and great portions and I was stuffed after. The staff were very accommodating for us with a lot of people with allergies, dislikes of mushrooms so adapting the menu for these individual people. We were even able to swap out a few bottles of wine included in our package for cocktails as us as the Bride and Groom did not drink wine.
As soon as we walked in the venue the first time, we knew it was the place we wanted to get married. Everytime we went back to view the venue again I fell more and more in love. For anyone thinking about viewing or even booking this incredible venue I would say do it! We will be going back for events in the future to relive the best day of our lives.Clearwell Castle's reply:
Thank you so much Victoria for your kind message following your wonderful wedding. Your message ill be shared with Hannah and the team. Have a great Christmas and we hope to see you again in 2024. -

Perfect Wedding
We got married at Clearwell castle April 2023. What can I say it's the most perfect venue and we had the most amazing day. The organisation was amazing and the staff were great on the day and even leading up to the big day. Phaedra was our wedding planner and communication with her was great throughout and on our wedding day she ensured that it all ran smoothly. I cannot recommend Clearwell castle and their staff enough. Thank you again for helping us have our dream wedding.
Kind regards

Dan W. Sent on 23/11/2023Fairy-Tale Perfection: A Glowing Review for Clearwell Castle Wedding Venue
Clearwell Castle exceeded all our expectations for our wedding day. The moment we stepped onto the grounds, we were captivated by its timeless charm. The staff, especially Hannah, went above and beyond to make every detail perfect, ensuring a seamless and stress-free experience. The Ball Room, where we exchanged our vows, felt like something out of a storybook. The surrounding gardens provided a stunning backdrop for photos and added to the overall enchantment of the day. Our guests were equally impressed, and many commented on the unique and romantic atmosphere. Choosing Clearwell Castle was the best decision we made for our special day; it truly felt like a fairy-tale come to life.Clearwell Castle's reply:
Thank you Dan for your wonderful comments. Congratulations again from us all here at Clearwell Castle. We so look forward to seeing your photos very soon. -

We had the perfect wedding at Clearwell Castle, their team were superb in providing planning assistance from the point of our booking, guidance on all aspects of our wedding choices from registrars and suppliers, and coordination on the day of the wedding to make sure it flowed seamlessly.

Mr & Mrs Coates - 14th August 2023
I hope this message finds you in great spirits. I wanted to take a moment to express myself and Gary gratitude for the incredible work and dedication each one of your team put into setting up our wedding. The day turned out to be nothing short of magical, and it wouldn't have been possible without your tireless efforts.
From the early planning stages to the final moments of the reception, your expertise and attention to detail were evident in every aspect of the event. The decorations were absolutely stunning, and the venue was transformed into a dreamlike setting. The floral arrangements were exquisite, and the lighting created a warm and inviting atmosphere. Every guest commented on how beautifully everything came together.
The professionalism and teamwork of your staff were exceptional. You handled every challenge with grace and made sure everything ran smoothly. Your ability to coordinate different elements of the event was truly impressive. It was clear that you all worked seamlessly together, and it made a significant impact on the overall experience.
Additionally, your warm and approachable demeanour made my entire guests feel comfortable and reassured throughout the entire process.
We are truly grateful for the countless hours and the passion you poured into making our wedding day unforgettable. Your dedication and hard work did not go unnoticed, and we couldn't have asked for a better team.
From Mr & Mrs Coates
